shows cracks or abrasion damage along its

length or at either the plug or connector end.

iJhi:;For }_)nr saf:ety...do not store or use

combustible materials, gasoline or odrer

flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance.

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove

the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safety, this appliance must be properly

grounded.

The power cot,1 of this appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (g_mnding) plug which mates

with a standai,13-prong (g_mnding) wall

outlet m minimize tire possibility of electric

sho& hazai,l from this appliance.

Have tim wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified elecuician to make sure tile outlet is

properly gTounded.

V_qrere a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,

it is _x)ur personal responsibility and obligation

to have it replaced with a properly g_mn(led

3-prong wall oudet.

The air conditioner shouM ahvays be

plugged into its own indMdual electrical

outlet which has a voltage rating that matches

the rating plate.

This provides tire best pe_tbrmance and also

prevents overloading house wiring circuiLs

which could cause a fire hazai,l from

overheated wires.

See fire Installation hlsmlctions, Electrical

Requirements section for specific elecuical

connection requiremenLs.

WARNING!

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS-115-Voltmodelson/)/

Because ofpotential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the _CAUTION:

use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension col,l,

it is absolutely necessa Uthat it be a UL-listed,

14 gauge, 3-wire g_unding type appliance

extension cot,1 having a gTounding type plug

and outlet and that tile electrical rating of tile

cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.

DO NOT use an extension cord with any of

the 230/208 volt models.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS-115-Voltmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use

of an adapter plug.

However, if}xm must use an adapter, where

local codes permit, a temporary connection mW

be **lade m a properly g_mnded 2-prong wall

outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at

most local hai,lware stores.

The larger slot in tim adapter must be aligned

with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide

proper polarity in the connection of the power

cord.

V_qmn disconnecting tim power cot,1 from lhe

adapter, always hold the adapter in place wilh

one hand while pulling tim power cord plug

with the other hand. If tills is not done, the

adapter gTound temfinal is very likely to break

with repeated use.

If the adapter gTound temnnal breaks, DONOT

Follow National Electric Codes (NEC)and/or local

codes and ordinances.

CAUTIOn:

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from the

power cord.

Do not change the plug on the power cord

of this air conditioner.

Aluminum house wiring may present

special problems--consult a quaflfied

electrician.

Some models require 115/120-voh a.c.,

60 Hz grounded outlet protected with

a 15-amp time delay fi_se or dr_uit breaker.

The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the

possibili/y of electric shock hazard. If the w_dloutlet

responsibili/y to have it replaced with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Some models require 230/208-voh a.c.,
